Crooks won yesterdays game in the
eighth inning by rapping the ball over
the Iight-field fence. He is the third
man to make bid for the GLOBES
home run medal, Cleveland and Foster
having previously entered the list.
The game was very pretty one
throughout and hung in the balance to
the end of the ninth inning. But four
errors were made, all told. Jevne
muffed two flies after long, hard runs,
and Kennedy and StOckwell each failed
to hold ball thrown to the plate. Poor
coaching caused Jevne to drop his first
fly, as he and Leggncollided. The visit
ors were in the lead at the end of the
first, fifth and sixth innings, and came
very near tying the game in the last
half of the ninth. For the home team
the fielding was pretty all around, that
of Wilmot, Cleveland, Crooks and
Pickett especially SO. For the visitors
the best work was done by Miller, Legg
and Hardie. In the fifth inning Miller
took hot fly with his right and sent
the ball to the second baseman, and he
to first in time to catch the third runner
had it been necessary. The play only

THE GAME
was opened with st. Paul at bat. Muir
ply and WilmOt popped up flies for the.
third baseman, and Cleveland got first
on balls and was nipped trying to steal
second. For La Crosse MOriarity got in
a safe drive to center, stole second, went
to third on Miller'S out and scored on a
passed ball. In the second inning st.
Paul's sluggerS drove the smile from
Kennedy'S features by batting the ball
about the field in a truly wicked man
ner. McCauley secured base on balls
and Stockwell got hit to left. Each
WAS advanced base on Pickett'S out
from second to first, and Crooks drive
to right field brought them both home.
The latter'S attempt to steal second was
not successful. SOwderS had base pre-
followed with singles. SOwderS would
have been put out had Kennedy held
the ball thrown to him from left. Viau
scored ON passed ball. Both sides
were BANKED in the third and fourth,
and St. Paul also in the fifth. In the
last half of the fifth La Crosse took the
lead again. After Jeyne had been re-
tired on a fly to left and Kennedy on a
foul fly to first, for which McCauley had
to make a desperate run, MOriarity
made hit to right and stole second.
Viau then ratified Miller's teeth
up pretty badly by hitting him
in the head. The game was stopped
abeHt five minutes 10 get the player in a
presentable condition again. Meinke's
hit to center brought in Moriarity,
Miller going to third and Meinke to
second on the throw in, and both scored
on Rocks hit to right, the latter being
caught at second on Legg's drive to
short. St. Paul got majority of one
again in the seventh on Murphy's hit to
right, Wilmot's base, ON balls. a wild
pitch and AlcCauley'sh hit to left. In the
eighth Crooks knocked the ball over the
right-feld fence, bringing st. PauIs
total up to seven. In the ninth for La
Crosse, after Scott had gone out ON fly
to left, Jevne and Kennedy took first ON
balls. Moriarity drove grounder@ to
first. and Jevne ran for home. Nc
Gauiey returned the ball in time, but
Stockwell dropped it, and Miller ended
the agony by striking out. Following
